EG-EK-01 Education & Growth Education & Knowledge CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Structured Qur’an & skills curriculum

Rooted in the maqasid of Hifz al-Din (preservation of religion) and the principles of holistic Tarbiyah (nurturing and development), evaluations assess the implementation of a comprehensive, staged curriculum for Qur'anic studies and essential Islamic sciences. It requires documented learning pathways, rigorous safeguarding integration, verified teacher competence, and inclusive practices to ensure a safe, high-quality, and holistic educational experience. This structured approach guarantees that Ilm (sacred knowledge) is faithfully transmitted to future generations.
